Cilantro/Coriander Long Standing Organic HEIRLOOM Seeds (LG)

Coriandrum sativum

Item #7751

Cool season annual. Cilantro
is an essential ingredient in Indian,
Asian and Latin American cuisines.
A thousand uses from as simple as
a sprig in chicken soup to chopped
in Mexican food. Crushed coriander
seeds are used in pickling spice,
curry and chili powders, salads,
eggs, pastries and breads. We
chose Long Standing for its
excellent flavor, improved leafiness,
and its slow-to-bolt quality. It won't
flower and go to seed as quickly as
other varieties when hot weather
arrives. A good container variety, it
can be grown inside for fresh
cilantro leaves in the winter.

shell to drop off.
